Watching the movie! It brought a small shock to the heavens!

Obito was trying to encourage himself, holding a bouquet of vibrant roses in his hand.

"I must confess my feelings to Lin today."

"Oh? Could it be that Rin prepared a surprise for Obito to celebrate his Chunin Exams? That Obito is quite the ladies' man." —Yao Lao, Doupo Cangqiong World.

"It's definitely happening! The two of them met under the cherry blossom tree. Rin must have a gift for Obito. Ahhh, the innocent and tender feelings between the young boy and girl are so pure. I love it so much~" Cupid's Chocolate World, Metata.

"Hey, Obito's got a knack for it. He even knows how to seize the opportunity to confess. Not bad, not bad at all. He's much better than some people." Momo Belia Deviluke in the To Love-Ru world.

"And did you guys notice? Obito wasn't late this time! This is the first time Obito hasn't been late since the Sky Screen started airing! Obito really values ​​Rin." — Chen Guo, The King's Avatar World.

"Yoshi, Otto-san, the cherry blossoms in our hometown are in bloom." — Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.

Suddenly, Obito quickly hid the flower he was holding behind his back.

Lin came running from a short distance away, put her hands together, and said apologetically.

"Sorry I'm late."

"It's alright, it's alright."

[Obito hurriedly waved his hand, his face flushed with a smile, and just as he was about to go find the sun, he suddenly heard Rin continue speaking.]

"Gentlemen."

[Obito was completely bewildered.]

"Everyone?"

[Besides Rin, several more people emerged from both sides, leaving Obito completely bewildered.]

Upon closer inspection, weren't they my classmates from the same year?

"What's going on? Why is everyone here?"

[Obito looked at his classmates with some surprise and asked Rin a questioning tone.]

Lin smiled, a blush lingering on her face, and began to explain.

"I called everyone together to discuss how to celebrate."

"Huh? What are we celebrating?"

[Obito continued, still questioning.]

At this moment, Lin took out a stack of papers from her backpack and handed them out to the students present while explaining.

"Isn't Kakashi about to become a Jonin?"

"I think we could send some gifts to our classmates together."

As she spoke, Rin handed a piece of paper to Obito.

The paper clearly stated: 'A plan to present gifts to fellow members celebrating Kakashi's inauguration as a Jonin (Secret Mission)'

"Kakashi becomes a Jonin?"

[Obito repeated it blankly. I had just caught up with him when I discovered he had already reached an even higher peak.]

"Huh~ Obito, didn't you know?"

Rin looked at Obito with surprise, then a joyful smile appeared on her face.

"We, as his contemporaries, also feel very proud."

So that's how it is...

【"Ha~"】

Obito forced a smile.

Behind her, a bouquet of roses lay fallen to the ground. Delicate petals drifted from their stems, floating in the air—a scene of vibrant beauty…and yet, poignant sorrow.

Meanwhile, Lin was excitedly chatting with a female ninja.

"Hey, what kind of gift do you think Kakashi would be happy with?"

"Let me think about it."

The female ninja thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Given his personality, it would be better to give him something practical..."

[“Hehehe~”]

Obito gave a somewhat awkward smile.

The other students were engaged in lively discussions in small groups, while Obito remained alone in place.

Everyone else was bathed in sunlight, but he stood alone in the shadows beneath the cherry blossom tree.

[Out of place.]

"...It hurts, it hurts so much. I can't even imagine how heartbroken Obito must have been." Xia Ling, in the world of Zhenhun Street.

"Actually, you can see from here that Obito's relationship with everyone except Rin and Kakashi can't be described as just getting along, it's more like they don't get along at all!" Wang Lu, from the world of Once Upon a Time in Spirit Sword Mountain.

"No, what about the ninjas' hearing? Such a big bouquet of flowers fell on the ground, and nobody noticed, nobody saw it?" - Bai Yuechu, Fox Spirit Matchmaker World.

"Lin probably didn't notice, but others probably did, but nobody wanted to meddle." This hero is too cautious, Ryuguuin Seiya.

"...I've noticed something. In the past few years, besides training, the only people Obito can really talk to are Rin, Kakashi, and his teacher Minato... He's probably a bit lonely." —From the world of Home with Kids, Liu Xing.

"Thinking about it from this perspective, it seems that's true. Aside from when he's with Rin and Kakashi, Obito's emotions are suppressed most of the time... Even the moments when he congratulates them and shares his joy only last a few minutes." - Kazuha Toyama, Detective Conan World.

Looking at the scrolling comments, Lin's mood began to sink.

At that time, I seemed to have really ignored Obito's feelings.

Chapter 42 It's a promise, let me watch you become Hokage.

[Training ground.]

Minato looked at his students seriously and said in a deep voice.

"The next step is live-fire training."

[At the same time, he reminded the three not to let their guard down.]

"If you become careless because it's just training, you could lose your life."

"Do you understand?"

【"Yes." *3】

All three nodded simultaneously.

Immediately, the three changed direction and began running.

[“Bang!”]

Minato, arriving late but first, instantly flashed to the Flying Thunder God trap that Minato had set up beforehand.

Without hesitation, he used his kunai to cut the thin thread, triggering the mechanism!

【"boom!"】

The ground behind the three people exploded instantly! If they had been any slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Shh!"

The three people immediately stopped and stood back to back in a triangular formation.

Exposing your back to the enemy is the most lethal tactic.

[In the shadows, Minato continued to use kunai to cut the thin wires, activating the mechanism.]

In an instant, countless shurikens rained down on the three of them.

Kakashi and Obito immediately reacted, each taking one side of Rin and shielding her behind them.

"Clap clap clap clap clap!"

[At the same time, he quickly swung his kunai to deflect the incoming shuriken.]

【"Clang clang clang~"】

After a series of metallic clanging sounds, the three formed a defensive stance, warily surveying their surroundings.

Kakashi clenched his kunai tightly, yet remained unharmed.

[But Obito suddenly noticed that the back of his left hand was injured in the shuriken storm.]

A shuriken pierced deeply into Obito's hand, blood flowing steadily down his joints.

Obito looked at his injured hand, and cold sweat began to bead on his face.

At this moment, Rin also noticed that something was wrong with Obito and turned to look at him.

[Obito panicked upon noticing and quickly hid the pain on the back of his hand.]

He said it in a deliberately casual tone.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a piece of cake."

However, the cold sweat that breaks out due to pain doesn't lie.

Rin walked up to Obito with a serious expression.

Obito's movement just now aggravated his wound, causing his expression to twitch again.

"Extend your left hand."

Lin spoke in a somewhat commanding tone.

Obito still wanted to argue, trying to prove that he was no worse than Kakashi.

"It's okay, it's nothing serious."

[The hand holding the kunai behind him was trembling, but Obito still stubbornly insisted.]

"It's just a scratch, a little licking will make it heal."

[Rin completely ignored Obito's excuses and loudly interrupted him, issuing a command.]

"Stop talking, let me see."

Seeing Rin's anger, Obito lost the courage to argue any further.

[Slowly remove your arm from behind your back.]

Minato didn't activate the mechanism again, but instead watched the three's movements from the tree.

[Then, Rin, with a serious expression, began bandaging Obito's wound.]

"It was an accidental oversight."

"I got sand in my eye."

[Obito tried to lighten the mood by looking at Rin's serious expression, but obviously failed.]

Rin looked up and stared at Obito.

Obito was momentarily speechless, then chuckled lightly, feigning nonchalance.

"Haha, a man is really beneath him if he doesn't have a scar or two."

"This is a good opportunity to enhance my resume."

"So this is just a minor injury..."

【"Squeak~"】

[Rin suddenly tightened the bandage, causing Obito to gasp in pain.]

【"it hurts!"】

Seeing Rin's unprecedentedly solemn expression, Obito seemed somewhat at a loss.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Lin finally spoke up.

"Stop trying to be brave and hiding it from me."

"Because I've been watching you the whole time."

Seeing Obito's helpless expression, Rin softened her tone and continued.
